Alexis Danzig writes of her work with Act Up (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), a "diverse, nonpartisan group of individuals united in anger and committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis", in response to a bigoted apathy and ignorance that feeds the AIDS crisis. In particular, Danzig discusses the response in the art community towards misinformation and dehumanization or exploitation in the representations of PWA (people with AIDS) by government and health organizations, focussing on five exhibitions or projects in particular. Much of this work make then an attempt to educate (or re-reducate) the public regarding the implications and risks when it comes to AIDS, but also the societal impact of negativity and ignorance towards PWA and activists.
